2. Shows a list of Wi-Fi networks in range, and connects using the one you choose
3. Connects over the cellular data network, if available

Apple ID
Your Apple ID is the account you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including storing your content in iCloud, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying music, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
If you already have an Apple ID, use it when you first set up iPhone, and whenever you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If you don’t already have an Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in. You only need one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple.
